Could you release the original .bmp files for people who actually want a good quality version? I\'m not actually sure why they needed stitching together in the first place. Most people use tiles for easier streaming not a single huge file.

I had 50% of the money back, he kept 50% for the work that he did do.


Not only did h02 create several versions of the map I did too as he gave me the Lua and PHP stitching script. We must have tried around 10 times together. A few attempts at each new tile size: 512, 256, 128, 64, 32.


There is a specific reason for not using PNG, something to do with the stitching PHP script, unsure, h02 would be able to tell you more (If he can remember, it was 6 months ago). I don\'t want to release the bmp tiles as they are 6gb in total size. Even if you did stitch them using BMP the anti-aliasing is off so it wouldn\'t make much difference.


I did explain all this in the IRC PM but I added it here just for the other people asking the same questions.
